[QUOTE="CooperDragon, post: 1984101, member: 76248"] You can use coins to test your scale out. A nickel should weight just about 5g (easy to remember) and a penny should be half that. The weight may vary if they are older coins that have worn down over time, but that's what they should weigh as they leave the mint. [URL="https://www.usmint.gov/learn/coin-and-medal-programs/coin-specifications"]Coin Specifications | U.S. Mint[/URL] Good note about using a hard surface for weighing rather than a carpet as well. Something lighter than a sheet pan might help with weight accuracy too. Shoebox tops tend to be great for that. I agree with AHBD that he looks to be over 100g (and hopefully will steadily improve upon that). Having consistent readings going forward will help you track his progress over time, which is important. I like to keep a log in Google Sheets/Excel so that I can chart progress over time and set trend lines etc. (a notebook is just fine too). [/QUOTE]
